The Weekly Health Quiz

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/04/13/well/13healthquiz-04132018.html

I love this Quiz :-)

Sometimes I score high, sometimes I score low but I always give it a go.

All the answers link to various NYT articles as the Quiz is based on their publications.

So if you are a regular reader of NYT, you'll be scoring high in this Quiz provided you've retained what you've read.

I always look forward to this weekly quiz as it tests my knowledge and also brushes up my knowledge wherever I'm lacking.

I've learned many new facts through this quiz as it updates us with the latest research in health and medicine.

So you can also give it a go, and if you like it, every week, you can try it as every new set of questions will lead you to some amazing answers.

Often I'll share these intriguing discoveries with my friends and family so that they also know what's happening in the world of health and medicine.

So here's wishing you all Happy Quizzing :-)

Cheers

Phir :-)

Phir (again) I've come back to you with another nice song.

Very enjoyable to hear and see :-)

It's from Hadh Kar Di Aapne (2000).

Beautiful lyrics by Anand Bakshi and wonderful music by Anand Raj Anand

It's a group song sung by Udit Narayan, Anuradha Paudwal, Sudesh Bhosle and Vinod Rathod

Amazing visuals of the European countryside and superb acting by Govinda, Rani Mukherjee and their co-stars.



Hope you enjoy this enjoyable song :-)

Love,
Aparna

Very Sweet Song :-)



Came across this song while doing one of my playlists and it's such a sugary-sweet song that I can't stop humming it :-)

It's from Anand Aur Anand (1984), Lyrics by Anjaan, Music by R.D. Burman and sung by my beloved Kishore :-)

Smita Patil looks nice in this song though Dev Anand seems to have lost his debonair looks.

However, both of them, stalwarts as they were in the world of movies, played their part well.

Viewing this song makes you go down memory lane....when they existed.

Now they are no more, their memories remain with us and nice visuals such as these songs.

So hope you enjoy this nice song - and if you do, let's thank the creativity of all these people who've left us with such a beautiful legacy - the makers of this product - Anjaan, R.D. Burman, Kishore, Dev Anand and Smita Patil - good teamwork, I must say. Needs a lot of compatibility :-)

Till next time,
Take Care :-)
